Honoring best UWP racultv, staff The problem with awards is that often there aren't enough of them to go around. Selecting UW-Parkside's top educator, its best researcher, or top classified staff person is difficult because there are so many worthy candidates. Some deserving people are going to be left out. This year was no exception. Despite the inherent unfairness in the system, it's hard to argue with the list of UW-Parkside people who received honors this year. From Stella Gray Teaching Award winners Annette Weisner and Norm Cloutier and the diversity award-winning Biological Sciences Department to research and creative activity recipient Jay Sounderpandian, John Buenker and Art Dudycha who received distinguished service honors, and classified staff award winner Jim Hastings, each recipient was well qualified to take home their awards. The Stella Gray Award is emblematic of teaching excellence at UW-Parkside. Annette Weisner and See Faculty, Page 3 Need help?

Also included were questions geared toward indicating the voters' age, race, education, sex, and income. UW-Parkside Professor Fred Monardi is one of only nine research heads p artici pating in the exit polls across the country in cities including New York City, Los Angeles, Mi_ami, Jacksonville, and ~orid~. The objective, according to Professo r Monardi, was 'to get a dearer picture of what citizens believe to be political corruption, what ~e causes and consequenc1:s. of such corruption are believed to be and where political corruption fits into popular under standings of politics." In the Kenosha area, .25 p olling precincts were selected based on the diversity of the area in terms of race, ethnicity, income and partisanship. Utilizing his American Politics class and Public Opinion class, Professor Monardi sent fifty students out to the selected locations to conduct the p olling. The thought was that if each researcher, present at their respective locations for periods of four hours each, were to randomly The completely confidential survey was intended to be the vehicle for the research. As the voters left the polling places, the UWP students stopped every fifth voter and asked them to take five minutes to fill out the survey. Most voters were more than willing to participate. In fact, some of the UWP students even had to turn away people who came and asked if they could take the survey as well. It was very important for the results of the survey to be strictly oased on a turn-out of every fifth voter. While the surveys were confidential, the questions were intended to find out as much about the particular voter as possible, barring anything that might indicate the identity of the voter. In this way, researchers would be able to coincide data with certain income-based, ethnic or age groups. Some examples of what type of questions were on the survey are, "In ~overnment, corrupt means are needed to achieve unportant goals-Usually or Rarely;" "Which level of ~ovemment seems most corruptLocal, State or National;" and "In politics, taking care I was able to visit four of the polling places at which the research was being conducted and found the researchers and the voters very willing to talk about the research and their views on corruption. Maggie Bnmnelson, Jessica Tucker, George Drury, Stephanie Mayer and Jared Pelski, five of the UWP student researchers that I was able to talk with, were enthusiastic about the attitudes of the voters and their apparent interest in helping out. While some of the polling places experienced low tum-out, others made up for it with extremely high voter counts, thus making it possible for the researchers to reach many voters. For instance, at the Washington Road Fire Station, turn-out was very low, but at the Stocker Elementary School, lines were out the door for most of the day (according to Tucker and Pelski).

He explamed SOme of the Fed functions and macroeconom. ic policy-making. Afterwards he took questions from students. Kaufman regrets, "Because of a SChedulingglitch we were not able to have the usualpre: sentation on the various functionsof the Fed and visit the cash counting department. We'll include that in our spring visit." He adds, "My impression is thatthe favorite part for students was the visit to the pits but I liked Strauss's presentation the best. His presentations have been excellent. Next semester we'lltry to schedule a presentation by Strauss on monetary policy, which will be great for the students enrolled in the economics course 'Money and Banking,' which will be taught next spring." The final stop of the day was the Mercantile Exchange where the group received a brief presentation on the mechanics of trading and a description of hand si~als. According to Kaufman, the Visit was more exciting than usual because the market was near closing for the day. Next time, theClub would like to have a formal presentation at the Mere.

Wafla and Snvder clash in Mid-East conflict during special PIC program ByDaniel Frake The Middle-East conflict came to UW-ParksideThursday, November 16 as Dr. Marwan Waffa and Professor AaronSnyder came together to debate the conflict, its causes, and possible solutio~. Sronsored by the Parkside lnternationa Club (pIC) and mediated by Professor Roby Rajan, the debatewas to be an open forum for people to express their views and share ideas on what can be done to resolvethe problems in the Mid-East. . From the very beginning, though, it seemed like it would be anything but solution-driven. Dr. Waffa, Dean ofthe School of Business and Technology,. began his remarks by giving an outline of the history of the conflict. Whileacknowledging that both parties In the conflict had been in the wrong at different times, Dr. Waffa's outlirieseemed oppressively skewed tow~rds painting Palestinians as the outright victims. Later, as Professor Snyderof the philosophy department gavehis ~perung remarks, for a brief moment It appeared that the talk Wouldchange its direction into one of seekin&a solution, Professor Snyder reo discussed the issue that, for too blng, people had been assigning b amerather than working together to ~J.eace to the land. s ortunately, neither man, nor the ~tors, seemed willing to proceed own this road of thought. e While both men are obviously ~tremely intelligent, neither really owed the capacity to discuss the issue at length without blaming one side or the other for various events which have taken place throughout history. At one point, for example, Professor Snyder, visibly upset, mentioned the fact that he has seen Palestinian cartoons 'depicting jewish people horribly and like monsters, a statement which threw the entire room of spectators, largely Palestinian, into a frenzy, The issues surrounding the Middle- Eastern conflict are confusing and often difficult to discuss strictly historically, let alone with the added burden of finding a solution. Both Dr. Waffa and Professor Snyder agreed that there are many causes of the conflict, including ethnicity, territoriality, political autonomy and religious differences. However, agreeing on possible solutions is difficult when one or both of the two sides refuse to compromise and essentially banter back and forth about who is worse. One would expect more from two highly educated men. In fairness to Dr. Waffa and Professor Snyder, however, it should be noted that this talk is a good example. of how difficult it is to solve problems when emotions run so high, as they do in the complicated web of the Mid-East conflict. Perhaps, peace would be achieved at a greater level in. this world if men and women were willing to put their interests aside for the time being until compromises can be worked out that would be for the better of the people as a whole, and the world in general.

This cemetery is much worse than anything that can be imagined. This is the fina1 resting place for the neglected, and the forgotten. The Kenosha County Cemetery has many members each with their own story. It is a shame that most of their stones will never be told. A rusty gate surrounds the cemetery from the rest of the land around it. The padlock that once kept the gates closed tightly rusted away long ago. Three large elm trees stand guard in the middle of the cemetery; their branches are gnarled and seem to be reaching down as a last remembrance to those who have . passed on. These gigantic guardians appear to be the only visitors to this lonely place. The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside The newly trimmed grass is the only sign ofan outside world. Along the fence is a thick forest. The com fields beyond the remain unseen from this place. The only sounds are the rustling of the elms' leaves and the peaceful sound of insects in the distance. There are no flashy headstones, no Mausoleums, and no flowers, just concrete slabs. The headstones are in neat rows but they are no where near perfect. Most have extreme signs of decay. Some markers have been swallowed up by the earth. The top portion of the concrete is the only thing that can be seen. Some headstones have a plaque attached to them, yet the engraved words are hard to make out. Almost every grave has been vandalized. Some headstones are kicked over, while others are scratched beyond recognition. Traces of white paint can be seen on all of the headstones. The ground is uneven in places, since it is trying to UWP. Professors were once like us By Zach Robertson Craig Braun Contributing: Sheree Homer The second article in a 3-part series For those students who have not yet picked a major, there's still time. Many students do not pick their majors until their sophomore or junior year. Like many students, a number of professors at UW-Parkside have made changes in their college career during their undergraduate studies. New programs are often created at universities which can give students different opportunities, or, some just switch simply because their interests change. There are also those that know what they want to do right from the start. Many professors at UW-Parkside have taken a very smooth path which took them to where they are today. History professor Laura Gellott knew that history was what she wanted to major in and stayed with it. "I knew from the time I was in grade school that I wanted to major in history when I went to college," said Gellott. "I was influenced by my mother, who was a high school history teacher, and my uncle, who was getting his Ph.D. in history at the time." Psychology professor Sylvia Beyer never changed her major during college simply because, "nothing could be more interesting." . Susan Takata, criminal justice professor, was originally a journalism major because of an interest in writing during her high school years. "I switched to sociology because so much of journalistic reporting required knowledge of society," said Takata. Professor Fay Akindes from the communication department also had an interest in writing and got her bachelor's degree in journalism. She was introduced to public relations during her time at the University of Hawaii- Manoa, and had the opportunity to work with photographers, graphic designers, and TV producers. Keep in mind that not all professors know exactly what they want at the start of their quest for their bachelor's degree. Evelyn Zepp, a professor with the modern languages department, originally started out her college career by studying math. "I was doing integrals and seeing vectors in my sleep," said professor Zepp. English professor Frances Kavenik said that English was actually her third major after math and sociology. "I had several great teachers who influenced me along the way," said Kavenik. "The fact that I love to read and found differential equations less delightful than I had thought they would be, and quantifying people's behavior likewise and less enjoyable than literature." Rozanne Leppington from the Communication department was transformed by taking art and the history of art by her art master when she was 14. She received her B.A. in fine art and cinematography from Leeds University in England. "I did lots of various jobs, selfemployed art work, then worked as a medical artist in a teaching hospital, then m~re self employed illustrating, secretanal work, and then I discovered communication when I went b~ck to school much later," said Leppmgton. Any student with doubts about their education now has proof that it is acceptable to change you mind a few times and still be successful. It has worked for many professors here' at UW-Parkside. settle what was buried beneath it. The headstones themselves hold a feeling of sadness. There are 109 grave markers that have something inscribed or chiseled on them. One hundred and fifty four have no writing at all. To this day no one knows who lies down below. There are graves with names of people and the dates of when they died. In some cases, it tells how they died, such as "drowned." Most of the graves are inscribed with names of mystery: "Unknown Male," "Unknown Want," "Unknown Skeleton." In the front row of the cemetery are the oldest graves. In 1924, an "Unknown White" was buried next to an "Unknown Colored." This is considered ironic by the standards of the time period. Now, they lay side-by-side in harmony for an endless time. The burial ground is known as Potter's Field, the poor cemetery. Many of these people were murdered. A considerable number were drunks Wh; many can be classified as h~melesse They had no familie.s or money,and that IS why they remam m this placefor eterruty. Many graves hold the remainsof those found after tragic train wrecks Some hold the bodies, and in man' cases, the body parts that washed upo~ the shores of Lake Michigan. Theywere all buried in their own cheap Wooden county-provided caskets with a chuck of stone on the earth above their heads It is an urban legend in Kenoshathai if one walks in the cemetery at night he or she will fall right into a coffin.' Of course, this has never happened because no one dares to visit at night: Not many people even know this place exists, and so all the unfortunate people are unknown even through death. These people will always remain the forgotten, but some of us can chooseto remember them. • OPEN HOUSE The Ranger News Monday, December 11 12 noon - 1:00 p.m. The Ranger News office is located in lower Wyllie Hall across from the Career Center. soc NIGHT FRI&AY NIGHT, &ECEMBER 15, Amll 6:00 PM, yOU CAN CASH IN ON THE FOLLOWINC 51X SPECIAlS: 12 OZ.

Most students should answer "yes" to this question considering most careers involve working with people. Business majors, pre-health majors, communication majors, pre-certified teaching majors, etc. will all be expected to work in the public. This internship aids in developing skills students need in order to be successful in diverse settings. The first half of the semester, students meet in class once a week for dis- -cussion and activities led by Professor Christie. The in-class work helps prepare the students for the real-life expe- L riences they will have in the second half of the semester. During the second half, students take part in a supervised internship in the community participating in various events such as tutoring, setting up after-school programs, and even playing basketball with pre-college youth. "The idea is to try to match students with a person of an ethnic background different from their own," say Christie. "To gain a better understanding of some one outside their race." Although this is an excellent opportunity for all students, Professor Christie highly recommends this class to business majors. "Anybody in business _ [would find this internship important) because corporations are always looking for people who have a multiethnic framework in order to get along with other [diverse) peop1e. Those who have this kind of experience will be the first to get hired because we are in a globalized economy." Spaces in class are limited.

Sheis assigned to devoted Dalmatian owner and parole officer, Chloe Simon (Alice Evans), who doesn't fall for "Ella's" remarkable change of heart, but instead falls for the bighearted and handsome dog shelter manager, Kevin Shepherd (loan Gruffudd). Adding to the amusement is Kevin's somewhat confused parrot, Waddlesworth, who thinks he's a rottweiler, along with a throng of faithful pups who follow Kevin everywhere he goes.

Now more than ever, Chloe is convinced that Cruella is a changed woman. So she accepts an invitation to a dog dinner for herself and proud, new father, Dipstick, to Cruella's mansion, leaving her beloved Dalmatians, Little Dipper, Domino, Oddball and their mother alone for the ... evening. But Cruella can't pull off her amoral act alone. She calls in the help of her faithful manservant, Alonso and her newly acquired accomplice and French fashion furrier aptly named, Jean Pierre Le Pelt. Will the threesome pull off their dastardly deed or will the adorable dotted do~s dodge danger? "102 Dahnatians ' bore distinct similarities to the 1996 version, which made it predictable and a bit uninteresting. Glen Close's performance as "De Vii" again made the movie a probable hit, as did the addition of Gerard DePardieu, who played "Le Pelt." Aside from the predictabillty, children and Dahnatian owners will definitely love this movie, for its spot-acular dog performances.

So she accepts an invitation to a dog dinner for herself and proud, new father, Dipstick, to Cruella's mansion, leaving her beloved Dalmatians, Little Dipper, Domino, Oddball and their mother alone for the evening. But Cruella can't pull off her amoral act alone. She calls in the help of her faithful manservant, Alonso and her newly acquired accomplice and French fashion furrier aptly named, Jean Pierre Le Pelt. Will the threesome pull off their dastardly deed or will the adorable dotted doi;;,s dodge danger? "102 Dalmatians ' bore distinct similarities to the 1996 version, which made it predictable and a bit uninteresting. Glen Close's performance as "De Vil" again made the movie a probable hit, as did the addition of Gerard DePardieu, who played "Le Pelt." Aside from the predictability, children and Dalmatian owners will definitely love this movie, for its spot-acular dog performances.
